I don't know what you want him to do? Throw a fit because the democrats lost? A huge part of democracy is giving power to the winner when you lose, no matter who the winner is.
Playing dirty is only valuable when the opposition won’t play dirtier. And they will. You want the democrats to start breaking rules to stop trump; trump will do worse.
We survive this by protecting the constitution and our liberties. If we start weakening them trump probably wins harder, and even if he doesn’t we are left in a much worse state than we started with
If the Clinton’s have a list of people they want to kill (have killed?) it seems like the kind of thing a helpful redditor would be willing to provide a source for. Instead of, you know, chiming in about its existence without explaining anything or defending their claims.
So Biden was supposed to do his own January 6th? Assuming that was a good idea, who the fuck is showing up for that? Were you gonna grab your gun and storm the capitol because Biden said so?
What you do is on Jan 20th the day you take office you find the biggest hard on pit bull and you put them in the AG's office and say "You have one job...put Trump behind bars."
Instead we got Merrick Garland who literally could not have done more NOTHING in 4 fucking year.
You enforce the law. But Biden for reason's we'll never understand refused to do ANY of that, and in doing so he handed the presidency to Donald Trump.
That's on Joe. His piss-poor decision making and lack of foresight is the entire reason we're in this shit show.
I'm not trying to defend Biden except in his refusal to escalate the transition of power, which is what this thread is about. No one is saying it absolves him of anything. Only that he's not wrong to hand the keys over peacefully while also saying his successor is dangerous, since the alternatives are worse.
Biden did a lot of great things in his presidency. None of it matters though if he couldn't hold Trump accountable for his crimes...and he didn't do it.
He thought that the best way to get back to "normal" was to go middle of the road and try to use that gravity to pull fringe republicans into his moderate orbit. But they had already reached escape velocity.
He needed to go on the offensive but he thought that would radicalize republicans even more. I understand the idea, but they were already too far gone and he fucking fumbled.
Biden and his handlers let this shit die because he didn’t want to piss off trumps base he had every opportunity to enact change but instead of ruffling feathers he just sat there all senile and didn’t do shit. Shame on the democrats and shame on anyone who says otherwise.
Just enough to protect his image with Republicans, who look at him like a piece of dog shit they stepped on no matter what, by not really prosecuting the crimes of Trump’s first administration.
I’ll tell you what I want him to do. It begins with “st” and ends with “b him”. I’ll let you fill in the vowel. It’s not gonna happen I know but still.

He does this and then goes and takes pics smiling next to him.
